Among the Ruins

The high tide is approaching The signs are clear Do not stare into the sun Let it all fade away Another look around The sands of time are running out But where to hide? Take this offering of peace A chance for quiet rest Awareness will end Descending into deeper Depths of oblivion Now everything is lost The signs are clear Can't take it anymore Eternal slumber A place in the sun Now forget

Enduring the distance Leaving behind trodden sand Overwhelming burden weighs Compass point has been lost again Tell me how to find direction A path to better future Doing nothing but a heavy duty I got to get rid of this sledge of stones Blue thoughts devour the day Miserable and lacking consistency Actions speak louder than words Roaming through a quagmire And always aiming headwind Tell me how to find direction A path to better future Doing nothing but a heavy duty I got to get rid of this sledge of stones

Down to the core Of dazzling sights A world under the spell That hinders perspective It matters not One's got to seek the easy path Sweet ignorance It's bliss to live in denial As the torch is lit One has to choose what to believe in All these tales of unknown truths They shine forevermore Act without thinking Follow an illusion Through a cloud of lies Inhaling dishonesty Impaired vision, at the Point of no return Face the facts And settle the score Don't you want to see the truth? Closed eyes and misguided feelings Adhering words that resonate It's better not to show emotion Discard questions and prepare for Outcome which may not please Maybe one day you'll find that The system avoids honesty It just doesn't matter Always a bliss to live in denial Plainly follow the illusion Proceed and repeat

Welcome to the end of days As the tables are turned Better to possess an open mind And look for a shelter The bombs are pouring down From the blackened sky above Bloodhounds howling in the rain A new dawn that purged heresy You've reached the end of the line Open up a new chapter, stop believing Salvation won't reach you Just forget the past The bombs are pouring down From the blackened sky above Bloodhounds howling in the rain A new dawn that purged heresy Moving along The path of devastation After having reached the crossroads Of a new dawn

For hardships there is defiance And, when it all will end Placed out of sequence Matters that are twisted and bent Through a whirl of doubts Waiting for the curtain to fall Patience for being still reflects The absence of light A whirl of doubts Out of sequence The absence of light The path to extinction

Death and greed Tighten up a web of lies Always wanting to feed the fire Acting along without exception Casting the dice You're in for the kill And doing as you're told When will they fail? Reveal their true existence Bent, twisted and frail Advocating deception Playing by the book And ripping up the unaware The struggle mounts Words are written on silk paper Into the madhouse The greed has to overflow Suppression is the key When will they fail? Reveal their true existence Bent, twisted and frail Advocating deception

Among the ruins Beneath the barren ground Charred, forgotten Placed in oblivion Do not look behind Toward those ghastly sights When wisdom was overruled The way of confusion A path to the sun A single flare Ignited vicious circle Violent outburst On an unprecedented scale It's better not to look behind Words have no meaning Providing a reason is useless Devastation can not be undone
